Gain and loss, happiness and unhappiness, fame and infamy, praise and blame — these are the eight worldly concerns. Whatever happens, whether it appears good or bad, pleasurable or painful, recognise it to be just like the ten similes of illusion! And, in a state of perfection, transcending the ordinary mind, and beyond words, thought and elaboration, rest in the expanse of the view, away from the limitations of hope and fear!
